At the risk of seeming like a cat lady in the making...

I recently downloaded allt the (very bad quality) pics from my phone and realised that I've met some pretty cool animals in some interesting situations...

I thought I'd share them all with you:

First up are Guiness and Peroni, my uncle and aunt's "babies" -

 

They are polar opposites: Guiness is a soft and shy little guy who has the most adorable fringe while Peroni is super boisterous and loves jumping on laps.  Love them!

Next up is Hunter. Named after Hunter S Thompson this cat used to live in Obs. She was hit by a car twice and lost her tail but is still sweet and affectionate -

She used to come sleep right next to my computer at my old work.

We found this gorgeous specimen in the bathroom at the lovely drummer's house -

I found this white rabbit on the side of the road while walking from Cavendish to Kenilworth. I picked it up and then wsa like "um, now what?". Luckily it belongs to the public gardens there so I gave it back to the security guard - 

 

A seal at Kalk Bay Harbour -

This is Bacardi (I think that's his name). He's a beautiful tabby cat and he's the resident pet at The REd Herring in Noordhoek. He's a bit shy when it comes to pics, as you can see -

The unamed cat I often see in the window on my way to the train station - 

On a walk from Glencairn back home to Fish Hoek I saw this large mole digging on the side of the raod. I stopped tow atch him and he couldn't see me so let me get quite close. Look at those teeth - 

Bokaap alley cat -

 

Flightless Egyptian Goose at Solole Game Reserve. He got left behind which is sad but is super friendly which was sweet -

 

My boss' cat Cass who upon my arrival always like to spend a few minutes being scratched on my lap. She's gorgeous too; a stray turned luxury kitten - 

And these fishies are so cute. Look at their smiles -

Does this make me a cat lady in the making?

Win a Poofum with Furkidz!

Standard Bunny Poofum R65

Just over a month ago my cousin and I started making felt toys and after one or two people saw them and ordered one of their own we decided to call ourselves "Paisley and Puddles Poofums" and start a little business.

It's been fun and interesting and things are going well. We've made monsters, fruit, bunnies and even a unicorn! The requests just keep coming in (we're not complaining).

Watermelon Poofum R90

Both my partner and I are animal lovers so when the lovely Linda Harding of Furkidz approached us to do a fun competition with them we were more than happy to oblige.

Furkidz is a fantastic platform where potential pet owners can find their forever pet. Instead of buying a puppy or kitten from a store or breeder you could give a previously abused, abandoned or lost animal a loving home.

There are so many gorgeous faces just waiting to be taken home and given kindness, love, care and a safe haven to while away the rest of their loyal days. Please, if you're thinking of adding a furry friend to your family consider adopting one of these little cherubs.

How to enter:
All you need to do is become a follower of Furkidz on Twitter or like the Furkidz Facebook Page.
For an extra entry you can like the Paisley and Puddles Poofum Facebook Page (have a look at our fun, colourful felt creations).

The prize:
Two lucky winners will each win a Poofum of their own made up in two or three of their favourite colours. How cool? We think so!

Good luck!

Competition closes on Monday 22 May so get liking and following!
